The outputs are independently configurable can not say we dolby digital live on spdif, stereo headphone output or speakers ...
Bottom line, if one is not on a dedicated PC, and we do not want the 5.1 and turn his amp when surfing or watching a youtube video must each have to go to the driver settings. Unacceptable for a card at this price!
FYI, a chip managing the dolby digital live / dts connect on a recent motherboard allows to do all this (or a creative menu labs) ...
Bonus Therefore, if you have a home theater pc and you want to play in 5.1 it will not work because once your media center on the SPDIF pass throught (for sound in the film) also no sound comes out.
Best of all, in games, there is an echo of the voices (in Dolby Digital Live / dts connect) and you have to turn to hacky drivers to adjust the worries.
Bad point for amazon "delivery may take 2 extra days", I took delivery Chronopost and it took 10.
So I could not test it on the road and because I can return it!
If you require and want flexible use of your sound card (finally no more than a dedicated chip on mother board ...), this card is to avoid emergency.
